Just got a shot on a big buck. I am still in the tree and I am a little worried. Saw my lighted nock hit the deer but I don't know how good the penetration was. Could see my arrow sticking out of him as he ran off. Dammit I hope he is down. Probably 30+ yd shot broadside.

Good luck. Wait a long time before looking.

Vacation for me this week. Mornings have been slow for a couple days. This afternoon I saw a mix of seven does and fawns, a 4 point yearling, and 1 pretty nice 8 point. Probably should have taken the shot, but hemmed and hawed about 2 nicer bucks we have seen, and then he was in the thick stuff and safe. Still no chasing, and fawns still with mommas.

 

I do have a scrape that was inactive for a couple weeks, that was reopened and as big as a small table top. I will be perched in the area of that tomorrow morning as well.

3 days of hunting. Yesterday morning I had a doe come in with the biggest buck I've seen in person 40 yards behind her. Was waiting for him to keep coming but she turned and saw him and took off. Watched him sprinting after her back and forth a couple of times.

Went from that excitement to most likely tag soup, unless I get lucky in the AM. Sigh....

I'm not in any clubs but I thought you can sit in any stand as long as the owners not using it. No??

No in our club we all put our own stands up on our own and came to a agreement that we stay in our own .. to much work scouting hanging stands cutting lanes and letting deer go to have some smuck come in while I'm not there and shoot the fist 2 he sees ... if we had all the stands and we went out together and hung them then yes but this guy's first year he hung no stands and thought he was gonna go off our hard work no I think not

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!
